Alan T. Eusden, president of Corning Display Technologies Taiwan, was elected by acclamation by the AmCham Board of Governors to a second one-year term as chairman of the Chamber for 2010.

Eusden then nominated – and the Board approved – the other standing officers for the coming year:  Corning Painter of Air Products as Standing Vice Chairman, George Chao of 3M as Vice Chairman, Li Shin Wang of Johnson & Johnson Medical as Treasurer, and Stephen Y. Tan of Baker & McKenzie as Secretary. He also expressed his appreciation to the two vice chairmen for 2009 for their strong support: Jeffery Nemeth, who is ending his Taiwan assignment to become head of the Ford operation in South Africa, and William Farrell, who has reached the end of his term limit for service on the Board.

The American Institute in Taiwan and American Chamber of Commerce held a luxury American Ball on November 14, transporting passengers from New York to Newport, Rhode Island, Bermuda, and end in London.

380 guests danced to DJ Frankie’s energizing tunes. Raffle prizes from United Airlines and many prestigious resorts/hotels heightened the evening. Captains Chris Fay and Nick Winsor commanded the “crew” (dancing girls) with paramount leadership.
